Now what if you don't want to just copy it to KNOPPIX/KNOPPIX.ISO, well then you have choices in how to build up the path it will look for:
fromiso=path/to/KANO*.iso
Makes Kanotix look for path/to/KANO*.iso

then

Zitat:

knoppix_iso_dir=path/to/
Makes Kanotix look for path/to/KNOPPIX.ISO

knoppix_iso_name=KANO*.iso
Makes Kanotix look for KNOPPIX/KANO*.iso

which is confusing. And then

Zitat:

fromhd=/dev/hdXN?
Makes Kanotix only check the specified device. Unless you use this Kanotix will check your drives as it would when looking for the cd.

Well you see not every part on the Wiki is up-to-date. There is a lack of men power to hold the Wiki in a good shape. Feel free to help and fix it. I like to see that the people take a lot at it, most people know that it is not in the best shape and ignore it completely. That's the wrong attitude to change the situation. So you are really welcome to help.

Grub 1 can not be used that way, there is no loopback support. In that case you extract the live dir - best rename it to kanotix and use live-media-path=kanotix as extra option to the default options - but WITHOUT fromiso option - or extract just kernel + initrd and use fromiso.

Thanx.

If there is a top level directory of the same name, as that given in 'live-media-pathh=' , in another partiition as well, then that directory could be used resulting in a crash thru picking up the wrong version.

Put it at the root of a formatted partition (I'd guess it has to be a different partition than the one you have the kernel, initrd, and sqashfs images saved to)

Put the cheatcode "persistent" in your kernel line

So your GRUB1 (not GRUB2) entry might look like this. (In this example the kernel, initrd.img, and squashfs image are saved at /dev/sda3/mnt/kanotix and the loopback image is at the root of another partition, both ext3-formatted.)

for persistence I use a separate partition rather than a loopback file. I give a label to this (ext3-formated) partition: live-rw.
The entry "persistent" in Grub will then cause all changes made to the live system to be put into this live-rw-partition. Upon reboot these changes are loaded into the live system. They also can easily be inspected there.......

The "/mnt" looks weird in your example. Also the last "boot" is not needed.

You're right, it works equally well without "boot" at the end and with "live-media-path=/mnt/kanotix".

Is there a replacement for the "noeject" cheatcode, which no longer works?
